About Me

Current Mission
Learn, accept ("it is as it is"), be yourself - it's not worth to worry to much
Always keen to learn from and share time with good people

ABOUT ME
Open eyes for my sorroundings and the little things and big heart + will to create a more just world.
2 years in a coffee roastery so I had time to master this art. Can talk for hours about coffee and sustainable development. Particularly the change inside is my big topic of the last 6 years - I have been meditating, learning to accept and now I feel open to re-create this positive energy with my sorroundings which I try not to judge but love the way it is. Good for any type of conversation. Don't want to fly anymore.

PHILOSOPHY
Keep up your smile: To give a smile is free and can brighten the days of others.
Awkwardness is authentic and needs to be expressed.
A lot of times I am sure I am right, but I am actually wrong, so: challenge your truths and paradigms.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I live in Allgäu and can host people in a little village next to Kempten.
All of the couchsurfers i've met were heartwarming, open minded and had a lot of wisdom to share - this community created some of the best experiences of the last years.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Good Ones. Couple of beers and wines, amazing food and mate-tea with my South American brothers and sisters, earthquake and Playstation in Wellington, talking about carrots and tradition in New Zealand. Have a dinner with a view in Taipei and experiencing a tropical storm...
All people were so friendly, helpful, kind, respectful and easy going. I am so thankful!

Interests

I enjoy learning Spanish by listening to South American music. I try to compose music, just as editing pictures/playing around with Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
Lets cook together and talk. I can show you some local beers/breweries and just enjoy the time we share.
Hobbies: Frisbee, Yoga, Slackline, Football

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to music most of my life.. But what is good music? It needs to resonate with the moment, so it can be almost anything if placed in the right environment, really :)
I don't read too much, like 2 books per year and sometimes nerdy science stuff..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking 35.000km+ across Europe and Oceania in the last 7 years.
Sneaked in a big electronic music event in Melbourne by acting like I am part of the staff.

Teach, Learn, Share

How to make a good pizza dough. I can explain basics to expert level coffee-knowledge and I'm always in for deep topics trying to explore our perspectives better..

What I Can Share with Hosts

A safe haven and a good time.
Depending on the time we can have a good tour through Nuremberg or a nice trip to the sorrounding beer addicted Franken with heaps of breweries and nice landscape ;)

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Austria, Czech Republic, England, France, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Romania, Scotland, Slovakia, Taiwan, Thailand, United States
